Angel's Last Mission: Love (2019)

I watched this back in 2020 and rewatched it one more time about a year ago but am now writing a review, so my memory from the drama itself is a bit rusty, but I do remember enjoying it a lot. The chemistry between eh leads was great, and as always Hyesun's acting never disappoints, whenever she got emotional I got emotional with her. I remember it also being funny, so that's always great (Idk why I suddenly got awkward writing this but anyway). But yeah, would definitely recommend it. (Btw I don't really pay attention to OSTs/music and such so don't trust my rating on that too much) But other than that I have nothing to say really, it was very enjoyable and loved it so much. Wanna rewatch it again T_T .

True love never ends, as quoted from William Shakespeare "the course of true love never did run smooth".

Absolutely outstanding performance from the leading female cast Ms Shin Haesun. My first time watching her playing such a melancholic role that touches the heart so much. The sadness portrayed from The Look In her eyes and expression was so real and touching. Literally can feel them within my heart.

Every episode especially the episode 8 was so good to mention and I had to rewatch it a few times.

Lastly a beautiful ending is something I am looking forward to . May both Kim Dan and Lee YS be together

Have you ever said that you’ve never fallen in love? If you said then you might change your statement after watching L in this drama.

Story - it’s quite catchy that a guardian angel comes down to protect this girl who is sad lonely and has lost faith in humanity. Yeon Seo is like a princess trapped in her own emotions and negativity that surrounds her. Then there is her guardian angel, naive and playful L. For whom there is only one thing important to make Yeon Seo fall in love with someone, anyone but not him.

Acting - I absolutely admire the way the actors in korean dramas express their emotions through their acting. It almost feels like as if I’m feeling the same way.

Music - I love all the OSTs especially Oh my angel and Pray also sweeter and..... the list doesn’t end. They are all sweet fluffy and just on your tongue and in your mind. I’m often subconsciously singing Sweeter.

Characters - Every character is amazing in its own way, even the evil ones and fell madly in love with the guardian angel, it’s difficult not to fall in love with L. I wanted to jump into the screen and hug Yeon Seo. It was difficult not to fall in love with her charm.

Overall - it’s a must watch. If your not watching this then your missing out on something great and unique. It’s 10/10 drama from its story to actors and Beautiful music.

Beautiful drama ,everthing to the point ,no flaws ...drama is so good that I wish that at the end part of the drama, they should show some more scene after they meet....
Their love story is so much touched to my heart .Kim Dan entry scene making funny faces when she felt him near to her and then handling her that time also ....too funny .Actually his eyes express a lot ...Then yoon seo character also shows different flavour of emotions ,some time she shown rude and stubborn ,sometime some hillarious scene also from her side when she met kim Dan and with his sunbae ...too sweet character.

Beautiful Story of True Love

Wow...... what a storyline. I won't go into too much detail other than recommend this to everyone who would like to take a rollercoaster and cry themselves a river. ML and FL very realistic. Will defo rewatch again. The scenes the story the intrigues the betrayals......... the love and music made it out of this world. I've watched so many romcoms, dramas, movies, and am so glad I started watching Chinese and Korean Series. Everything about this hit the top spots for me. It makes you think about real life, love, hate and that time is important as you don't know your fate that's destined for each and everyone of else, so I would say try to love one another and live a long life. My top 5 of all time.

The acting skill was legit

This is a romantic commedy that isn't too sappy nor fluffy it's worth the watch all through.
Kim hye sun acting was authentic and so real it makes you cry, L as the ML is no different he was able to give so much life to his character Dan and the chemistry between them was great you could feel all they felt in the way they portrayed it, lets not forget the main villain she did a great job in loving abd hating at thr dame time.
The only thing i didn't really get though was the character Guem ni na her jelousy for lee yeon seo was scary and her personality was unclear but latee on you ll get to understand why though.
The second ML did a great job as well his acting was flawleess in the way he gave his character life, he kept you guessing what he is after and what he wants. Though i didn't get the use of the lady who use to teach lee yeon seo and Guem Ni na, her part was not needed as well as the death of sunbae.

The music was so great that i downloaded the whole ost on my phone LOL
The whole story was not dragged on but i admit there was a time when i got tired and wanted a break but it was still worth the watch though ????
Sorry for the long review though.

Angel’s Last Mission: Love é aquele drama que te conquista em minutos, ele me prendeu no primeiro capitulo sem nenhuma dificuldade. Sabe a ultima vez que isso aconteceu comigo em um dorama? Foi quando eu assisti Goblin pela 1º vez e quem assistiu sabe, Goblin: the lonely and great god foi um dos melhores Doramas de todos os tempos com indicies altíssimos de audiência na Coreia. Vocês acham que novela mexicana faz drama? Kkkk então você não assistiu um bom K-drama em sua vida.
Angel’s Last Mission apela pelo lado humano das pessoas, aquele sentimento de raiva, de amor, de medo, inveja que só quem vive sabe como é, bem diferente dos anjos que estão ali só como telespectadores (pelo menos deveriam kkkk). Por ser uma novela com tema religioso por se tratar de anjos e sua ligação direta com o criador, o tempo todo esses sentimentos são colocados em discussão. Humanos são vulcões de emoções e ideias, mudamos constantemente, somos falhos e erramos muito, uma pessoa que era “gentil e boazinha” se torna egoísta e invejosa, a egoísta e rude se transforma em uma pessoa compreensiva e gentil. O ser humano é assim, a gente muda tanto de objetivo, de interesses, e isso foi muito bem abordando durante toda trama.. Haaaaa, o amor... esse foi muito bem feito. Que casal meu povo... que casal!!
Pode até ser que esse k-drama não seja o melhor dorama do ano de 2019, mas que esses dois sem dúvidas entram para concorrência de melhor casal. A química entre eles era fortíssima, claro que um bom ator consegue fazer isso com facilidade, mas era possível ver paixão no olhar deles, dava para sentir a felicidade, as tristezas durante as cenas, atuações assim dão mais entusiasmo para quem assisti. Eu não duvidaria se o ship virasse um namoro na vida real em....
Lee YeonSeo sofreu mais que a Maria do Bairro, porém, e bem diferente desta, YeonSeo era uma protagonista forte, que não deixava as pessoas pisarem nela e por ter esse gênio ela se tornou egoísta, rude e até megera, mas isso não passava de uma “casca” porque a verdadeira YeonSeo sofria com tudo que estava acontecendo ao ponto de tentar se suicidar (outra coisa abordada durante a trama é o suicídio, infelizmente muito frequente na Coreia). Já o nosso anjo Kim Dan, é o posto da YeonSeo, ele é gentil, amável, sensível (um verdadeiro anjo), porém,muito “desobediente”, ele sempre se metia a onde não era chamado e isso lhe causava vários problemas, inclusive a missão de fazer com que a protagonista se apaixone só aconteceu porque ele fez uma coisa que não deveria ter feito (novamente se metendo onde não deveria) o grande problema do Dan era: Como fazer alguém que não ama ninguém amar outra pessoa?
“Ame o próximo como a ti mesmo” como você vai amar alguém, ser paciente, gentil se você não consegue fazer isso por si mesmo? Como transformar o egoísta em uma pessoa que ama ao ponto de se doar pelo outro? Porque isso é amor, é doação, é entrega.
Mas como o Dan tinha mania de fazer tudo errado, ele que se apaixonou pela YeonSeo e ela por ele, um relacionamento proibido desde que o mundo se tornou mundo.
Então surge a segunda etapa da novela onde o foco é “como eles vão ficar juntos?”. Entre esses diálogos fica eminente o questionamento se temos um destino previamente escrito, se é possível mudar as regras, fazer as coisas diferentes e é o que os protagonistas buscam. Uma coisa que eu não gostei foi eles o tempo inteiro brigando, questionando e até ameaçando o criador por causa do amor deles, porque Deus não dava uma resposta para os pedidos do casal etc, etc. Mas Dan entendeu no final (porque é sempre no final né gente) que tudo que ele passou teve um proposito, era como se fosse um teste para os dois, mas eles não enxergavam por causa das emoções, essas que nos cegam e nos deixam surdos sabe, sentimentos que nós humanos temos e dificilmente controlamos.
E mesmo depois de muitas lagrimas no último episódio, eles tiveram um final feliz (nos minutos finais do segundo tempo kkkk) um final lindo, que me fez derramar algumas várias lagrimas.

I've left this title after devouring itfor the first 10 epidoes, due to really slow translation over Viki but also because I lost any interest in it.
The cast is really good, I loved Infinite's L face expressions, I think he was perfect for this role like others of the cast!
But, for me, I started to lose my interest due to the ballet thing. I know that is the key to everything, but as someone who isn't into classic ballet, i didn't find it so much interesting as i thought it would be. But, I can say that is really good because is really lighthearted in many pieces, the ost's are good and if you like the classic ballet this one isreally well made since there aren't many dramas on the base of dance in general!!

For the Love Of An Angel!

All in all, this is an exquisite story about love, loss, sacrifice, and forgiveness as an angel finds himself in love with a woman and whether or not a love such as theirs is even possible. This lends much of the intrigue to the story about how an angelic being can condescend to human love, or if it is even possible.

Despite the fact that much of ideals and beliefs surrounding “God” and “angels” is medieval and extremely primitive, the story still manages to work, as long as you can suspend your disbelief. The best series I’ve ever seen about angels is “Highway to Heaven,” a landmark American series that saw angel, Jonathan Smith, going around trying to spread a little love and life on his missions.

This series is very “Old Testament.” We have a vengeful, jealous “God” who demands obedience and who has no problem exacting punishments. Only a person with ego, who creates a “God” in his/her own image, could ever possibly conceive of a “God” filled with human ego. This is another reason why “God” can never be found or understood through books and scriptures—books and scriptures that were written by men. However, for the purpose of this story, you have to allow yourself some leeway, knowing that God, Herself, is getting a serious kick out of this interpretation!

Angel Kim Dan is given a mission—a last mission—for interfering in human affairs by saving a human woman, Lee Yeon Seo. He’s given exactly 100 days to help her find love, or risk oblivion. The first handful of episodes are highly comedic, as we quickly find that Lee Yeon Seo is a rich, spoiled, conceited brat who is colder than glaciers! She barks at her house staff and doesn’t seem to have a shred of happiness. Part of the problem is that her eyesight was taken in a show where she performs as a ballerina—one of the absolute best in the business, due to her ability to bring tremendous feeling into her performances.

As always, there’s far more that’s going on than meets the eye, as we quickly find out that Lee Yeon Seo’s twisted aunt is plotting to take the “Fantasia Ballet Company” away from her. Little do either of them know that her aunt’s sociopathic daughter, Geum Ru Na is plotting something far darker and more sinister!

Not only is Kim Dan trying his best to eek out a morsel of feeling from the cold Yeon Seo, but he’s also having to protect her from her crazed family members. On top of that, we have Ji Kang Woo, the new artistic director for the ballet company who brings his own tragic past with him. Ji Kang Woo is a fallen angel who was condemned to live as a human being after the loss of a human woman who looks remarkably like Yeon Seo. Of course, he quickly becomes obsessed with Yeon Seo, as well as bringing his bitterness and anger to bear against “God” and all of the angels. As soon as he finds out the truth about Kim Dan, their rivalry heats up, and Ji Kang Woo does everything to try to convince Yeon Seo that a life with Kim Dan is impossible.

The first half of the series plays out much like the “Taming of the Shrew” in which Kim Dan is constantly trying to find some way to like a fire under the ice princess. Of course, it becomes apparent that they are in love with each other, after a few “back and forth” scenarios. You know the kind I’m talking about. She confesses her feelings. He flees. He confesses his feelings, and she stays…until she finds out that he’s an angel, and then she tries to flee (despite the fact that literally saves her life and doesn’t even get a shred of gratitude for it!).

The last four episodes or so are pure gold as Kim Dan races to find a way to become human, and Yeon Seo also finds herself on her knees in a church begging, demanding, and pleading for something to be done. Neither refuses to let go of the other, and neither will allow the other to be sacrificed so that the other may live.

At one point, Kim Dan is told that it’s a sin for an angel to love a human. I couldn’t help laughing at the sheer absurdity of such a statement. Angels are all about love! And by the time the series ends, it becomes painfully obvious that Kim Dan succeeded in his mission: Yeon Seo has, indeed, found out what it means to love, and Kim Dan also finds out the joy of loving someone as well. A sin? The only “sin” is suggesting that this is in any way, a sin. It’s amazing how often people attempt to make something wonderful and loving into something bad and impure.

There’s a sweet backstory that was especially poignant, in which we find out that Kim Dan was actually Yeon Seo’s childhood friend, and that he died trying to escape his abusive father. Yeon Seo is heartbroken when she finds out, as she’d always hoped that he was alive somewhere—completely unaware that Kim Dan is that soul.

I’ve said it in so many reviews, but it has to be said again: Shin Hye Sun is simply a marvel to watch. This woman has such range—she can take on any part and make it her own. This is the first time I’ve seen her play a cold, spiteful woman, but man, she nailed it! And then, just like a light switch, we see just how easily she taps into the reservoir of love and feeling. Her emotions are so powerful and heartfelt, that you feel them as the viewer.

I must say that Kim Myung Soo (Kim Dan) was her equal. Playing the playful, light-hearted angel to tapping into those baser, human emotions, and dealing with potential loss easily matched Shin Hye Sun’s. Perhaps that is why their chemistry was unmistakable and why it worked so well. I think I could have easily watched these two for another ten episodes.

I especially enjoyed the fact that this relationship was balanced. None of these silly mind games, or one chasing the other while giggling and saying, “No, don’t!” when they don’t mean it. No parental interventions either. It doesn’t happen often enough in K-dramas where two adults can simply love and show their affections. It was more refreshing than I can say, and I was very grateful for it.

I’ve always enjoyed the ballet, and I wish I’ve seen more performances than I have, but I also loved the music and dancing in this series as well. It truly is a magnificent art form that doesn’t get as much notoriety as it deserves.

If you’re looking for a series that feels like cuddling up with a loved one on a cold night in front of a fireplace, then this series should definitely work for you!

I love this drama SO BLOODY MUCH ✨✨??

This drama was so adorable, fun and easy to watch. You can really get hella invested with the main leads lives and their rs. The whole enemies to lovers trope was sooo nicely executed without making them too cliche or basic.
my HEART AND SOUL was super into the main leads rs during the entire drama and I cried buckets when they were apart. Like the writer really had no problem in making me cry to the point where my eyes were puffy asf the next morning. 💪🏻😭💪🏻

Other than the crying, I didnt really like the second ML cause i just found him annoying but on the other hand the second FL was an interesting and likeable character. The struggles she had growing up and her development was nicely played out. In the end i was rooting for her happiness.
Altogether i think this drama is definitely a nice and fun one to watch. Totally recommend 👍🏼👍🏼💕💕

**no spoilers here - don't worry **
Well now....there sure are two camps to this drama. I think what's impt is that both camps watched the whole thing....(at least most from my scan of the comments).... I already like the female lead since My Golden Life and everything since...so I knew I'd like whatever she did here. She is reliably great.

Lee Dong Gun should just stick to ML roles. He is such a good actor and so good-looking that any part where he's not the lead isn't taking advantage of him. Except one - in Queen for 7 Days, he blew that character off the screen.... As far as I am concerned there were 2 male leads there. In this drama, though, he was in a regular 2nd male lead role . Every step of the way, I just kept thinking he has so much more potential they could add to the story. No harm, no foul though.

Finally, "L" was the refreshing component for me. I already have him on my Up & Coming Fav Male Actor's list. This drama is his best so far and showcased a whole new set of acting dimensions. He's so talented in this that from here on, he better not be in anything other than a male lead role. And he's the only male character I can think of that makes sense and looks phenomenal in a pink suit. I love his one song he made for this show too. It hits home everywhere its used. Beautiful. https://youtu.be/RCjtm1x0kLw He brings so much to that table as an artist and is super handsome to boot.

Then ending for me....too interpretive. I *think* I get what happened but am second-guessing myself. I think they should have been more crystal clear here...no need to creating all thispost-drama angst. In this case, I'm not upset about it enough to rip the writers a new one, but I am feeling a little deflated. Is it worth watching?...absolutely YES. It's a good story with good actors and good acting. Is it the best I've ever seen? Nope....but I loved watching it and was compelled each week to watch the eps. Enjoy if you haven't watched yet.

Top 5 miglior drama visti

Leggendo la sinossi mi aspettavo di vedere un drama leggero, romantico e non molto impegnativo ma mi sono subito ricreduta. Fin dalla prima puntata il drama si presenta con temi importanti e delicati che vengono portati avanti in maniera egregia, con la giusta delicatezza e senza cadere nel banale.
Ho amato i due protagonisti e soprattutto il modo in cui cambiano e crescono insieme, evolvendo e apprendendo l'un l'altra come migliorarsi. Per quanto riguarda il second lead, non l'ho sopportato nella maggior parte delle volte, l'ho trovato molto insistente. Per fortuna, il triangolo non viene esasperato e la protagonista femminile è subito ben chiara e decisa nelle sue intenzioni.
Anche i personaggi secondari sono meravigliosi, in alcuni vi è una crescita e un miglioramento degno di nota che mostra come non sia mai impossibile una redenzione. L'antagonista è una "sorpresa" in quanto non è svelato immediatamente. Fa un percorso coerente che culmina in modo appropriato considerate le sue gesta.
Consiglio assolutamente questo drama, vi farà piangere, ridere, sospirare e riflettere su tematiche molto importanti.
